I don't think the Sonics need a point guard that badly, just look at the NBA finalists. They both had good defensive point guards. That works fine. If they trade down Westbrook might be the guy.<BR/><BR/>Lopez' efficiency stats are not good - in particular his rebounding (or am I thinking of his twin). That is a bad sign.<BR/><BR/>I think the Austrailian dude Jawai has a chance - he worked out for the Sonics maybe they pick him 24 - if he is available in the 2nd round I definitely take him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-23216105872788445942008-06-19T08:35:00.000-07:002008-06-19T08:35:00.000-07:00In my last post, I meant to type Mike Dunleavy, Sr...In my last post, I meant to type Mike Dunleavy, Sr. rather than Mike Dunleavy, Jr.<BR/><BR/>I'm an idiot, though, so that explains my mistake.AK1984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-64685186600637030642008-06-18T22:41:00.000-07:002008-06-18T22:41:00.000-07:00I'm not sold on Jerryd Bayless, as his inability t...I'm not sold on Jerryd Bayless, as his inability to effectively play point guard and defensive ineptitude are enormous drawbacks. With that in mind, I want Sam Presti to make the following trade during the 2008 NBA Draft.<BR/><BR/>FROM LOS ANGELES & TO SEATTLE<BR/>C Brook Lopez (Draft Rights)<BR/>2009 First-Round Draft Pick (Via The Minnesota Timberwolves {Top-10 Protected Through 2011 & Unprotected In 2012})<BR/><BR/>FROM SEATTLE & TO LOS ANGELES<BR/>SG Jerryd Bayless (Draft Rights)<BR/><BR/>Although Brook Lopez isn't athletic by any stretch of the imagination, he commands double-teams on offense, plays hard-nosed man-to-man interior defense, and is an all-around stud down on the frontline.<BR/><BR/>For the Los Angeles Clippers, Elgin Baylor and Mike Dunleavy, Jr. would probably rather have Bayless than Russell Westbrook -- who's raw on offense and not a natural playmaker -- as a result, they could attempt to move up a few selections.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, the SuperSonics should avoid Serge Ibaka like the bubonic plague. Yet, unless Presti has recently consulted with newly hired Atlanta Hawks general manager Rick Sund, that shouldn't be a problem.AK1984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-8576682201131972452008-06-18T21:42:00.000-07:002008-06-18T21:42:00.000-07:00I like Bayless or Mayo with the first pick.

I'm a little concerned that Bayless may be wound a little too tight and may wear himself out and/or grate on team mates.<BR/><BR/>It'd be nice to use one or more of the lower second rounders to trade up from 24 if possible. Also, with so many picks, I think they should pick one or more foreign players and possibly keep them overseas for awhile. <BR/><BR/>After the lottery pick, I like Kostas, Speights, Ajinca, Rush, Ibaka, Jawai, Thompson and Hickson (not necessarily in that order).GiveitupClayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02411003056646538880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-46115872016491481902008-06-18T16:31:00.000-07:002008-06-18T16:31:00.000-07:00I agree - Chalmers probably won't be around by the...I agree - Chalmers probably won't be around by the time we get to pick in the 2nd round. I think Tomic might slip, though. One of the draft boards had him going as the 6th or 7th pick in the 2nd round. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you can never underestimate the allure of a big man on NBA GMs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-25520053930571083632008-06-18T16:25:00.000-07:002008-06-18T16:25:00.000-07:00I think getting Tomic in the 2nd round is a stretc...I think getting Tomic in the 2nd round is a stretch. @ 24th overall not so much. Good luck if he's lower than that though, and he may never come over if he's drafted that low. Then again, he may just because he can get more money quickly as a 2nd round pick than he can as a 1st rounder. It's interesting that the Sonics have 4 2nd round picks.<BR/><BR/>I also think Chalmers will be gone before the 1st round is up too. I have a hard time believing somebody won't wont him before the end of the 1st round. If that isn't the case drafting him @ 32nd overall is not a reach.pookeyguruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11187341766325553709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-7161802205455658842008-06-18T15:39:00.000-07:002008-06-18T15:39:00.000-07:00I would LOVE to see the Sonics get CDR.I would <B>LOVE</B> to see the Sonics get CDR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-32582824139599936172008-06-18T15:20:00.000-07:002008-06-18T15:20:00.000-07:00i hope they choose bill walker and put him at sg a...i hope they choose bill walker and put him at sg and move kdur to sf and jeff green to sf/pf that would be nice then i think they should trade down to get russell westbrook hes a beast the closest to derrick rose. but i would be happy with jerryd bayless also or ojmayo. then get kosta javalee or hibbert or speights. thats a beast teamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
